Among the nominees this year, Amel Bent, Aya Nakamura, Kendji Girac, Amir, Slimane, Adele, Lady Gaga, Shakira or even David Guetta, who will have to rely on public votes to be certain of winning one or more prizes . And while celebrities are expected en masse on the red carpet, in the room, as well as on stage, a key personality will be missing: Nikos Aliagas. For the first time since 2009, the host, who had already given up the semi-final of The Voice last May, will give way to Camille Combaland this at cause of injury occurred during the last premium of the star Academyrevealed The Parisian.

“The doctors strongly advised him not to take the plane, with all the trips that the NRJ Music Awards impose. He tried everything until the last moment not to give up, but he preferred to listen to the doctors”, thus entrusted a source close to Nikos Aliagas to our colleagues. On Twitter, the host also spoke about this “bad fall“ which now forces him to renounce the NRJ Music Awards. “I got hurt Saturday. Concretely, I will not be able to travel to Cannes and ensure the presentation of the NRJ Music Awards“he thus confided, before also ensuring his presence the next dayon the set of the star Academy for the semi-final.

Nikos Aliagas back in Star Academy

After a moving bonus dedicated to Grégory Lemarchal, the host will therefore be in charge of the semi-final of the star Academy which, this year, will be a bit special. Indeed, before the evaluations, Michael Goldman announced to the six remaining academicians that five of them would be nominated. “Tuesday’s ratings are used to send one of you to the final directly. Whoever makes the best rating will be saved and will be in the final the following week”, he had thus specified, raising, among the students, a great pressure. Anisha, Louis, Chris, Léa, Enola and Tiana will therefore have to give their best to shine in this final stretch. And during the prime, it is Nikos Aliagas who will announce the finalists for this season of tele-hook.
